Kleber, Greenville, South Carolina, has introduced an agricultural radial tire for the North American market. The Kleber Cropker answers the farmer’s narrow tire needs for equipment of small and medium capacity, self-propelled sprayers, towed equipment and tractors. For use with crops that require narrow tires (between 9- and 12-inch section widths), including beets, strawberries, cane, grapes and other small crops—this tire is designed to provide the benefits of optimized traction, a self-cleaning tread pattern, robust construction and improved plant protection. The Kleber Cropker is designed with a 40 mph D-speed index and an exceptionally high load capacity. The Kleber brand was acquired by Michelin in 1981. The Cropker is available in a range of sizes to support a range of loads: 230/95 R32, 230/95 R36, 230/95 R40, 230/95 R44, 230/95 R48; 270/95 R32, 270/95 R36, 270/95 R38, 270/95 R42, 270/95 R44, 270/95 R46, 270/95 R54; and 300/95 R42, 300/95 R46, and 300/95 R52. The Cropker is replacing the Kleber Super 3, with the exception of the 210/95 R32 and 210/95 R40 sizes, which will continue in the Super 3 portfolio.
